We would love to keep the planes rolling into M91 for Monday's eclipse but math and the laws of physics are telling us that we are without a doubt filled to the gills.

However, the Wingnut crew doesn't want a single person to miss the chance to see what is sure to be an experience like no other, so we wanted to share a list that an incredible booking agent made when she was looking for a place for her client.
